Pita, thank you for that feedback. This ISO was created right after a rebuild of the untested repository, looks like we still have some kinks to work out there.

I saw quite a few wrong symlinks in /usr/lib. I will correct that and most likelythen brasero and sylpheed will open.

Stay tuned

Worked only for Brasero.

Reinstalled sylpheed and netsurf. Both are now opening.

Logout Menu now working with restart and shutdown. Logout always worked.

Reinstalling pnmixer would not change error, not openng.

Can't find now any further faults.

Just installed midori-0.5.8 and it crashes when clicking on "Edit" on menu bar. This happens as well in Salix-14.1 for which reason I reinstalledmidori-0.5.7. The drawback with that version, spellchecker is not working.

pnmixer ErrorCould not bind the following hotkeys: XF86AudioMute XF86AudioRaiseVolume XF86AudioLowerVolume

Got it.. pnmixer is already running, as indicated by a speaker icon in the notification area. It should be started only once, from the startup script. Think I'll just remove the menu icon.

I removed the menu icon. Removed as well gimp, samba and exaile since I do not usethose programs.

To me this VL-Light-7.1 is final. Furnishing the house now to my tastelike adding joe, xv, xpaint as well as my /usr/local partition where i havedillo and other for me valuable programs. Fluxbox is running great withmy menu from present working distro.

Main changes: Removed netsurf, vcpufreq, gambas2-runtime, qt3, exaile, fluxbox, pnmixer menu entry.Made separate IceWM entry for building menu and added option to have it created on every login.Entry for optical drives in fstab (for brasero's benefit).Sylpheed now works in my tests.

If things turn out to work okay, next step is to tweak package selection further. Midori or netsurf may replace firefox. Mtpaint instead of gimp. Xsane.. maybe not. Hexchat or Pidgin? Xscreensaver.. maybe for screen locking? Abiword and Gnumeric?

How light are we aiming? Is it going to be like the last light with a range of light desktops and appropriate tools or just sticking to IceWM? If so the Abiword and Gnumeric would be good, if we are going more then maybe Ted and SIAG?

The previous version was hand built, with shameless hacks to the text installer and liberties taken with respect to system configuration. This allowed you to install it on low end computers, but also created confusion and inconsistencies. This time the aim is compatibility with Standard, using the same installer and automated build system.

A better name might be just "IceWM Edition", but since Light is already established, we'll go with that. Target audience is previous IceWM users, and those who want full manual control over their UI.

for what its worth i have problems with midori regardless of which distrobution its on. it would be nice if the damn thing ever worked right

Have to agree with you there. Finally got it looking okay by tweaking the icon themes, but trying to use it is frustrating. Have yet to figure out how to make the search field work. And what's with the current browser disease of forcing you to display the tab bar at all times?

If we can fix Netsurf so it doesn't crash when you click Edit > Preferences > Network, it will be the default.

Thanks for the clarification, as you know I am a fan of IceWM and think we have had very slick implementations of it. interesting you are doing both 32 and 64 bit versions.

With the autmatic build system, there is very little additional effort in doing both versions.

BTW, the icewmvmods package will now install on STD and pull in deps to create the "Light" environment. Note that you get wicd with it, so you'd need to uninstall NetworkManager. Reason for going with wicd: it is smaller, and I had problems with the nm-applet display in the icewm notification area.
